ELLA PALMER, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

PACKAGE-CARRIER.

Application filed October 24, 1914:.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ELLA PALMER, a citizen of the United States, and residing at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Package- Carriers, of which the following is a specification, such as will enable those skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to devices for carrying packages, small or large, and of various kinds and classes, and the object thereof is to provide an improved device of this class which is simple in construction and operation, comparatively inexpensive, and which may be quickly and easily applied to a package of any kind secured or tied by a cord or other flexible device, and which may also be conveniently carried in a pocket or in a small bag, and which may be used as an advertising device, if desired.

The invention is fully disclosed in the following specification, of which the accompanying drawing forms a part, in which the separate parts of my improvement are designated by suitable reference characters in each of the views, and in which Figure 1 is a perspective view showing the method of applying and using my improved package carrier device; Fig. 2 a sectional view of the device detached; and, Fig. 8 a partial section on the line 33 of Fig. 2.

In the drawing forming part of this specification, I have shown at a an ordinary package secured or tied by a cord Z) which is passed around said package centrally and longitudinally, and centrally and transversely in the usual or any desired manner.

My improved package carrier device comprises an oblong handle portion 0 which is trough-shaped, semi-circular or loop-shaped in cross section, as clearly indicated in Figs. 1 and 2 and as shown in Fig. 3, and the handle portion is provided in the bottom thereof and at equal distance from the ends thereof with holes or apertures c and c and in the top side portions thereof and adjacent to each end thereof with notches or recesses 0 I also provide a cord or similar flexible device (Z which is folded centrally to form a loop (Z and two end portions (Z and (Z the end portion 6Z3 being longer than the end portion (Z Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Apr. 27, 1915.

Serial No. 868,370.

In connecting the cord d with the handle 0, the loop (Z is passed upwardly through the hole or aperture 0 and longitudinally through said handle and down through the hole or aperture 0'' and tied into a knot d after which the end portions d and (Z are tied together to form a knot cl and a loop (Z similar to the loop 6Z2.

In the use of this device the loop members or parts 0Z and (Z are passed one or more times around the parts 6 of the package securing cord 5 and the end parts of said loop portions or members are wrapped around the other parts (i thereof, as clearly shown in Fig. 1, and said end parts are slipped on over the ends of the handle 0 and rest in the notches or recesses c as clearly shown at (Z This operation of connecting the handle with the package to be carried may be quickly and easily performed without the tying of knots, and said handle may be as quickly and easily detached from the package by slipping the loop members oif of the end portions of said handle.

The handle 0 may be made of any desired material and may be made of any preferred shape in cross section, and changes in and modifications of the construction described may be made, within the scope of the appended claims, without departing from the spirit of my invention or sacrificing its advantages.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. A package securing and carrying device, comprising an oblong hollow handle the bottom of which is provided adjacent to its opposite ends with holes or apertures, and the top side portion of which is provided adjacent to its opposite ends with transverse recesses, and a cord passed longitudinally through the handle between said holes or apertures and through said holes or apertures and the end portions of which are provided with loops .of predetermined length which depend from said handle.

2. A package securing and carrying device, comprising an oblong trough-shaped handle, the bottom of which is provided adjacent to its opposite ends with holes or apertures and the top side edge portion of which is provided adjacent to its ends with transverse recesses, and a cord passed through said handle between said holes or presence of the subscribing Witnesses this apertures and the ends of which are passed 22nd day of October 1914, I

outwardly through said holes or apertures 'ELLA PALMER and provided With loops of predetermined length. Witnesses In testimony that I claim the foregoing as g (1- MULREANY, my invention I have signed my name in H. E. THOMPSON.
